Shires ladies showjackets - sizing help?

[darksecret99]

Does anyone know how generous/accurate the sizes are and whether they are tailored for ladies curves?

I'm looking at a size 42 jacket (which i think is a size 18, but there are no measurements and its advertised online, so I cant try before I buy)

I am usually size 14 in clothes, but I think I will need a size 42 to fit around my bust and still be able to move my arms!!??

Not sure what size to go for, cos I dont want it to look like a tent either!

Can anyone give me the measurements or tell me if they are well tailored or more straight up and down?

Thanks

I bought a shires jacket last year, and the sizing was very generous i am between a 12/14 and ordered a 38, too big got the 36 perfect, Im 5ft 7 just over 101/2 stone.
